Episode 47
Against all the odds I manage to get a show out this week. No live recordings even though I wanted them. I start the show off by telling of my Adam Bomb jape. Then rapidly move onto the Sound City Swedish Show Case night from the Borderline. Featuring Crumbland, I know they’re Finnish, Hell ‘n’ Diesel, Babylon Bombs and Mustasch and I generally moan about my Computer crash ‘n’ burning throughout the whole show.
07-06-08 Unfortunately they’ll be no show this week. My Mother(fucker)board and processor upped and died. I still have all my data ie Music, but as yet no programmes to run them. I’m going to take my time fixing this as I don’t want to make a bad thing even worse.

I also talk about my trip to see Richard Bacchus and the Luckiest Girls at the Bar Monsta. All the bands that night suffered from the most appalling PA I’ve ever heard, or not heard as the case was. I play Richard’s opening song from the gig to highlight the point, but to hear in tune guitar and audible vocals Richard’s website is www.myspace.com/richardbacchus I got an advance copy of the new Whitesnake CD ‘Good To Be Bad’ and it rocks, I love it so I play two tracks from it.

Blimely, notes and show on time for a change. Another ‘Live’ in concert show and this week Hanoi Rocks take centre stage. Most of this episode is taken from their Brighton gig at the Concorde 2 on the 6th March with the encore taken from the Astoria 2 gig a day later (not a Dollar Shorter) which was drummer Lacu’s last gig with Hanoi. Hanoi are really a band on fire as these recordings show and having no monitors for Michael at the Brighton gig only added fuel to that fire. Hanoi Rocks website is www.hanoirocks.info

Episode 31

Live music this week comes from The Nomads, The Loyalties, The Fugitives and The Sweet Zeros.
I know, I know the show and indeed are the show notes are hideously late this week. Friday and Saturday I was at the Nomads gigs, Sunday we were meeting some friends down in Haywards Heath, Monday I was meeting up with some old College buddies, yes I’m educated, Tuesday I was editing and Wednesday I recorded and uploaded it and today I get round to informing you lot!
Right, onto the link bits. The Sweet Zeros can be found and heard at www.myspace.com/thesweetzeros and the track of theirs recorded at the Dirty Water Club is the Amy Winehouse song ‘Rehab’ given a Ramones feel and yes it really works. To buy some really cool records, yes I do mean records as in vinyl, visit www.lamf.biz which is home to The Devils Juke Box Record Label which has put out the likes of the Nomads, The Damned/Motorhead Motordamned project, the aforementioned Sweet Zeros, The Humpers and even a Sonic’s Rendezvous Band 7”. I only managed to record one Fugitives song as I stupidly forgot to charge up the battery before I went out. So you get a cover of the John Lennon classic ‘Cold Turkey’. The fugitives haven’t a website so you’ll just have to check out various band members ones instead. I’ll let you Google them other wise we’ll be here all evening. Down in Brighton, with charged recorder, I taped The Loyalties set and have aired, ‘Sofa Surf’, ‘Thirteenage’ and ‘Stockholm Syndrome Homesick Blues’. The Loyalties myspace is www.myspace.com/theloyalties I played 5 Nomads songs. Opening with ‘Primordial Ooze’ from London with ‘Don’t Pull My Stings’ and ‘Crystal Ball’ with false feedback start from Brighton then back to London for the encore of ’16 Forever’ and ‘Call Off Your Dogs’. The Nomads myspace page is www.myspace.com/the_nomads I bought at the Brighton gig the Nomads ‘Live In Madrid’ DVD which is available from Muster Records www.munster-records.com which I can’t recommend enough. Obviously it has the live gig recorded in 2007 but it also has videos and live gigs from 85, 94 and two from 1999.

The first two tracks I play on this weeks episode are by bands that I thought would go onto great things but didn’t. The first track is ‘Hang Straight Up’ by I Love You from their debut self title album which came out on Geffen. The band did release a follow up album called ‘All Of Us’ and there was a live CDep which came out before their first album.
The next track is by Masters of Reality who you really should know. If it wasn’t for them and mainman Chris Goss there wouldn’t be any Queens Of The Stoneage. ‘Domino’ is taken from their debut self title Def Jam album. The album is also known as ‘The Blue Garden’ www.mastersofreality.com
The next track is ‘Magnetic Baby’ by Semi Precious Weapons. Very Toilet Boys, very fun and very much over here next week for a handful of
